Jose Bautista Blue Jays Bobblehead 2015

Jose Bautista was the
first SGA (stadium giveaway) bobblehead of the 2015 season. 20,000
were given away on Sunday, April 19th, 2015. His bobblehead is also the 3rd
giveaway bobblehead that the Toronto Blue Jays have made of Bautista. While that might seem like a lot, I’m
actually happy that their most popular player is being honoured again. While his first bobblehead was given out back
in 2011, the Team has gained a lot more fans and followers since then and it’s
only nice to have the fans also receive a Bautista keepsake (especially for
those who missed out on the previous releases).

Since this is the 3rd
Bautista bobblehead, I thought it fitting that his pose be unique and
different. It certainly is because Jose
is featured “muscle man” posing or rather “flexing”. This is the same pose he does after he hits a
home run, reaches home plate, and celebrates with a teammate (usually Encarnación). I believe he started doing this back when Yunel
Escobar was still a Blue Jay. Jose is
also featured in his road grey uniform.

Just based on the
unique flexing pose, this is truly one of my favourite bobbleheads in my
collection. BDA Inc did an excellent job
on this one, with lots of details and paint throughout the bobblehead. With bobbleheads like this I will never get
tired of having another SGA of Bautista.
